Mike Stanton is a great prospect after hitting 39HR in 468ab and his line .293/.381/.611 isn't too shabby for an 18 year old in A ball. What concerns me about him is 153K in 468ab against 58BB. He Ks 32.7% of the time but only walks 12.4% of the time. If he can bring down the Ks, I think he will be a big time prospect, because the power is real.

Fernando Martinez has always been a prospect ranked by his enormous potential more than anything. In 3 minor league seasons he has only hit 10HR once and that was back in 2006. Last season he hit 8HR with 6SB in AA, albeit as a 19year old. I think you can find an interesting discussion on him here...http://www.metsgeek.com/articles/2008/1 ... -martinez/

Brett Anderson between A+/AA had this line

105ip 118K 27BB 1.16WHIP with 62% GB% at A+ and 57% at AA. For a 20 year old, I would say that is a very good line. He is a lefty with a low 90s sinking fastball and good control as evidence by his 27BB in 105ip.

Austin Jackson is similar to Fernando Martinez in that it is mostly a ranking based on potential. As a 21 year old in AA he had 9HR 19SB and a line of .285/.354/.419. I like the potential of both guys, but this ranking is more from a standpoint of what have you done for me lately.

"After being arguably the best hitter in the minors during the first half of the season, with a .375/.433/.612 line on July 12, third baseman Mat Gamel went into a horrible slump, batting just .189/.283/.315 the rest of the way with no real explanation or obvious cause. He also remains a third baseman in name only after committing 32 errors there, giving him a whopping 119 miscues over the last three years." - SI

Smoak is already included, and Pedro is a good call that I overlooked and he would probably be slotted in towards the bottom.

I am kind of surpised that Cameron Maybin is still this high. I know he has a ton of talent but there are some issues that makes me doubt he ever fully fulfills his ability. He kind of reminds me of Brandon Wood. Maybe it is the strikeouts but 124 K's is pretty scary. I know he should be in the top 25 but I just don't think of him as a top 5 guy. Personally I think Heyward, Porcello and LaPorta are better bets right now.

Alvarez, Hanson and Posey should all be on a top 25. I also think that Porcello and Alonso are a little high. Porcello should definitely be top 15, but Alonso is a borderline top 25 guy (probably more like top 30-35). And as was said earlier, Feliz should really be a lot higher.
